I have tasted paneer aloo masala in restaurants few times. It tastes just like paneer butter masala with potatoes. Butter and cream laden heavy curry with paneer and potato cubes.

But this paneer aloo recipe is different. It is a dry curry that you can pack in lunch or use as sandwich filling or use for making wrap. If you want a change from heavy paneer curries this is a very nice recipe that takes only 20 minutes and no grinding required.

This aloo paneer curry tastes best with jeera rice, plain paratha, tandoori roti and poori. I also use it for making sandwiches, while making wraps and frankies.
